Melanie, my sweet angel student , you were a joy to teach. Your creativity and artwork were so original in everyway. We both loved Hello Kitty having spent 3 years in Japan. My prayers to Kathy and family

From the first moment you stepped into my room at Tomlin Middle schoo, I knew you were someone special...you loved Hello Kitty, Harry Potter and you were kind to All...(even the ones that were unlikeable).
I loved being a part of your entire life. You started as a student and ended as a friend. Your life was way too short. You will be missed!
